Managing the device from the menus
The menu system on the Flexor 500 provides a convenient way to adjust
most of the settings. Certain aspects such as the SIP accounts and other
advanced settings are only available through the web interface described
on page 44. Many of these are configured by the service provider to the
correct values and set to prevent a user altering them.
The menus can be navigated using the numbers to select an item or using
the up and down keys to select an item.
The settings menu provides options to configure many user preferences
and also some of the advanced settings that a user may wish to alter. It is
divided into the following sections.
1. Network settings
2. Quality of Service
3. Region settings
4. Screen settings
5. Volume settings
6. Ringer options
7. SIP Account
8. Firmware
9. VLAN
In addition there is separate menu option for diagnostics. This is also
described in this section.
Network settings
The network settings are usually configured automatically. In some cases
there can be problems with the default settings. The network screen
allows a user to select a different network mode and to manually assign
an IP address.
Changes to the network settings will interfere with communications and
should not be done while any calls are in progress.
The opening screen for the network configuration provides a list of the
different modes for the configuration. There are two modes supported by
the Flexor 500:
DHCP. The Flexor 500 will request a dynamic network address from
the network and use these settings. This is the default mode.
Manual. The Flexor 500 enables you to enter all the required IP
settings manually.
